Apple dongle easily more than enough power for HD560s. I've got the European version which is only up to 0.5V output for the dongle, and that's plenty for HD560s - I only use volume at around 16/100 from my Android phone and that's with a -9dB Negative Preamp too!
As long as they apply the same standards for that as they do the A-stock then that's fine. I hope they're just not recycled returns that haven't been fixed or checked, because I for one have returned an HD560s because of channel balance issues, the replacement I got was fine re channel balance though, and also good channel balance for the other 3 units of this headphone that I've bought in the past. (I've measured them on my miniDSP EARS rig.)
On Android, the volume is limited by an additional 75% on top of the EU volume limit.
Yep, definitely the European Version. And I've overridden the Android volume limit that staticV3 is talking about in the following post, so I can get the full 0.5V output:

And I’m wondering where my message went...(I lost it)))You already asked that question over in the other thread:
It was discussed earlier in that thread. We don't know if the spare earpads which are indeed the HD559 earpads (which are the same earpads that are on HD560s), we don't know if they are the New Version soft earpads that the HD560s currently ships with. If you need to replace the earpads then order a pair of HD559 earpads from Sennheiser and then let us know if they're the New Version soft earpads or if they're the harder earpads of the Old Version of the HD560s.New version of Sennheiser HD 560S (!)
I just picked up the 2023 version of the 560s on eBay, before I realized there were different versions, and after reading through this thread and all the others comparing the two versions that I could find, I still have a question that hasn't been fully addressed: I will be using these for...

Q values should be the same between different software if the manufacturer of the software is doing it right. It shouldn't matter which program you use. Following is a list of various EQ software, some of which is parametric EQ:

Nope they aren't the same, there are different Q designs, that's why some people on the forum probably have complained that it doesn't sound right to them.Q values should be the same between different software if the manufacturer of the software is doing it right.

Use reputable software that a lot of people use here, and you won't have a problem. EqualiserAPO is one of them. As I said, if the software companies are doing it properly then Q values will be the same.
What is reputable in your opinion? Even Fabfilter won't match Q wise let's say with a Sonnox EQ. And these are used by Audio professionals. You never know till you actually measure them through like Plugin Doctor or any other means.
EqualiserAPO, NeutronPlayer, Roon. Those are some that come to mind. If you're worried about it then enter for instance all of Oratory's filters for a headphone and then check the Total EQ Curve displayed in the software against the Total EQ Curve in Oratory's pdf file - eyeballing it to see if it follows all the same contours (and check a few points).
